Less Hospital Traffic Heralds Semester End
If past trends repeat, waiting lines at Watkins Hospital will become noticeably shorter as the school year nears completion, said Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the Student Health Service.
Both hospital admissions and clinic calls usually drop off in April and May, he said. He suggested that students finally may have become accustomed to one another's viruses. The hospital is busiest during September and October when the wave of new students hits the campus.
"YOU BRING A GROUP of people into contact from varied areas of the country," he said, "and each student transmits the viruses of his particular area to students who have not come in contact with them."
The change from home cooking to mass meals also seems to wreak havoc on tender stomachs at the beginning of the year, he added. The Watkins clinic treats more digestive disorders during September and October than at any other time of the year.
The rate of digestive and respiratory illnesses levels off after September and October, Dr. Canuteson said. Then the holidays arrive—and trouble returns to the hospital staff.
"THE STUDENTS SCATTER out over all sections of the country," he said. "And when they return, they bring in a fresh supply of new viruses."
The number of digestive and respiratory disorders takes a sharp turn upwards after every major vacation. Clinic calls during January, 1960, more than doubled the totals for the preceding months of November and December, due largely to a sharp rise in respiratory illnesses.
WHILE RESPIRATORY and digestive disorders decline with the advent of spring, student injuries increase, Dr. Canuteson said, largely due to increased intramural sports activity. Last year, the hospital treated more than 150 injuries during April and May.
But the myth which states that exhausted students flock to the hospital in drove as the pressure of last-minute term papers and final exams increases is untrue, according to Dr. Canuteson.
"At examination time our business drops off," he said. "That's because any student who can stagger to examinations goes. He may fold up after the examination period is over, but by that time he's home and we don't hear about it."
